She did but is declaring the state of emergency just in case. I think the feces will hit the air mover tomorrow if the models shift west again or even stay the same.

If this westerly motion continues we may see the models go even further west.Just a hunch.

Bob Breck (NOLA met) says if it has not yet begun its northerly turn tomorrow by lunch time, we have a problem. Hopefully, it can just continue going into Mexico or something....I know they don't need it, but there's a lot less population there.

I am anxious to see the new models at 9pm. The GFDL & GFS were from 2pm and look where they are. With this WSW motion they may end up much further west. This is a guess only.
